Lisa-Gay Tremblay is a Canadian-born comedian, actor, and writer with a career spanning over four decades in stand-up, television, and live performance—and, as she likes to say, she’s over 65 and not dead yet.
She began her comedy career in Ottawa at Yuk Yuk’s International Stand-Up Comedy Club, quickly rising to tour nationally across Canada. She wrote and starred in two CBC sketch and stand-up comedy series, toured internationally for the troops, and made history as the first Canadian woman to perform at the Just For Laughs Festival. She also hosted live morning television for millions of viewers, showcasing her sharp comedic voice and effortless on-camera presence.
After winning her U.S. green card in a lottery, Lisa-Gay relocated to New York, where she appeared on VH1’s Stand-Up Spotlight! alongside Rosie O’Donnell and opened for comedy legends Jerry Seinfeld, Rodney Dangerfield, and Dave Chappelle, as well as iconic recording artists k.d. lang, Mel Tormé, and Dionne Warwick.
She soon transitioned to Los Angeles, where she earned her SAG card on Boy Meets World and went on to appear across FOX, Showtime, A&E, and other network and cable platforms, as well as in multiple national commercials.
As a writer and creator, Lisa-Gay recently completed a sitcom pilot, That’s My Girl, which she is currently shopping. Following a period focused on family and selective performance, she has returned to the stage with renewed momentum, performing at top comedy clubs while actively pursuing television and development opportunities.
Beyond entertainment, Lisa-Gay is passionate about empowering older audiences through humor and perspective—proving that getting older doesn’t mean fading out. In her words: not dead yet.
Lisa-Gay Tremblay is based in Los Angeles.
